Advances in Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence

Computing is undergoing the most substantial transformation since the foundations of the field were laid by Alan Turing some eight decades ago. Ahead of the 2016 Conference and Workshop on Neural Information Processing Systems, Microsoft researcher Chris Bishop answers the question: Is this excitement about AI just hype, or is there substance, too?

Over the last decade, crowdsourcing has helped solve tasks that are notoriously difficult to crack with computers alone. Jennifer Wortman Vaughan shares more about this relationship and how it's advancing knowledge of machine learning.

Join a first-rate researcher network at the forefront of creative solutions to critical technological challenges. Working in research at Microsoft, you’ll have the opportunity, resources and support to work on meaningful projects within and across disciplines.

LIQUi|> is a software architecture and tool suite for quantum computing. It includes a programming language, optimization and scheduling algorithms, and quantum simulators. LIQUi|> can be used to translate a quantum algorithm written in the form of a high-level program into the low-level machine instructions for a quantum device.

If scientists can understand cancer and the immune systems as well as they understand how to make Microsoft Word run on a PC, they might be able to equip the immune system to mount a powerful response to cancer on its own.

Lowering the barriers to artificial intelligence​

Today, we are changing how companies approach automatic translation by leveraging our artificial intelligence expertise to enable anyone to quickly and easily customize translation systems, even without large amounts of previously translated sentences.

Microsoft is making the tools that its own researchers use to speed up advances in artificial intelligence available to a broader group of developers by releasing its Computational Network Toolkit on GitHub.
